Fort Ransom

Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or ransom:

    You do not quite get what I mean. Herr Frankenstein was interested only in human life. First to destroy it, then recreate it. There you have his mad dream.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    Where have I seen before, against the wind,
    These bright virgins, robed and bare of bonnet,

    Flowing with music of their strange quick tongue
    And adventuring with delicate paces by the stream,—
    Myself a child, old suddenly at the scream
    From one of the white throats which it hid among?
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
